Really, the only people I have found that dislike the series are the ones that haven't watched it. Anyone I've gotten to watch it, tells me they can't stop laughing.

Actually, I've only been told that the only reason they hate Horizon is because of the lacking amount of untranslated material. The poor guy wanted to read more into the series, but sadly Baka-Tsuki hasn't gotten far.

It's not easy to go far either...oh and yeah, people do die in this series. Prime example being Horizon's father but other minor characters do so too...it's actually quite serious deep down.

I expect the Second Season to dwell more into the "dangerous tendencies" of following history based on some book. Masazumi already opened up this criticism of the Testament's tendency of being misinterpreted, which Innocentius already admitted to having a possibility, and we will see many characters, especially Felipe Segundo, who are "victims of History Recreation" per se.

All of the hate! It is incomprehensible, it is wrong, it is the badness and how dare it have a fanbase!

Though by that point maybe people will stop watching bad fansubs and realize it's really not that hard to comprehend. I mean as far as light novel adaptations go people like the Monogatari stuff and I find that far more rambly, hard to find a coherent plot thread in and just downright incomprehensible at the best of times so if people can stomache that I'm sure they can find a way to "getting" Horizon or at the very least not totally dumping on it.

What I think happened is people assumed a lot of things about it based on watching the first episode or possibly even just based on the look of it's promo art. To be honest, when I first looked at it it looked like a total writeoff as just another sleazy ero anime, and while it does have a lot of ero stuff in it it also has an extremely dense plot and colorful cast that reveals itself as the story starts to kick into high gear. I see a similar sort of thing going on albeit to a significantly lesser extent with this seasons Accel World which again on first glance of promotional art comes off as a bit of a bishoujo harem affair with shonen tendencies (or cliches as they often get called nowadays), which while again also being the case is merely the tip of the iceberg for what is again a pretty dense affair dealing with a myriad of science fiction and gaming concepts and some fairly complex character drama/growth for what I was expecting. It's just how it goes when your shows look like Sunrise Studio 8's do I guess.

And that Horizon game actually sounds kind of interesting if it does indeed feature that much content. Typically I find anime games overpriced and focused more on the visual novel aspect of matters than gameplay, but if there actually are over 400 missions ala FFTA2 and the combat system is decent it could prove fun if difficult to play on account of not understanding all of the objectives.
